How much should I pay for new rear pads?
....at the dealer? At an Indy?
....at the dealer if I supply the parts?

about $90-140 for the pads if you order online + 1 hr shop labor rate (takes me 15 min using floor jack in driveway , breaker bar to remove tires, changing pads and putting wheels back on)

Cheapest online source? Too bad FCP Euro doesn't have these pads or the lifetime guarantee would be amazing.
edit: or do they

Overpriced but you only have to buy it once

Is it really this easy to do? I haven't done brakes in one of my cars since college. Maybe I should take a crack at it.

I'll update the fitment guide on that one as it's a little misleading.

Wow, 10K miles, I've got 51,000 miles on my brakes and still on the original pads, I guess I must drive my car like a lil old lady, lol. No indications they are worn out yet, rotors still look like new. Maybe thats a record for brake pad life on one of these cars....

So got my car back and dealer said my fronts are in green (these are same since I bought the car new) and rears have over 50% left and do not need changing -- I have 21,000 original miles on the original brakes and yes I drive like a grandma most of the time and lots of highway miles

It really is extremely easy to do and the rear pistons don't normally seize up the way the front ones will when you are trying to cruise through a brake job. Overpriced...definitely. I dropped the price from $302.99 to $285. Best deal on an OE formula pad would be the Pagid's located here.

Second question, the OE pagids, are they really the same pads sold to mercedes and will they fit a 2014 or just 2013 and older?
Your lifetime warranty kind of blows my mind and I was really disappointed when I didn't see a full set for my car
Peter- apologies for blowing up your thread here but if we can figure out a vendor to sell brake pads that you only have to pay for once? Epic win right?

I believe you are missing some year models for fitment so using the vehicle selector you don't get all the possible choices that are compatible. I have a 2012 cls63 and the pagids don't show up, another thing is it shows as textar being the oem pad. Did mercedes use different manufacturers between the years?

All great questions, I'm working on this section of the catalog over the next couple of days. Jurid, Brembo and Pagid are the only brands I normally see when I pull the pads off these cars. The Genuine Mercedes pads are normally Brembo branded when I unbox them and the Pagids are normally the same formula.
